Elmore Leonard Adaptations

The topic of Elmore Leonard's books and short stories and the film adaptations thereof came up at work the other day. (We have all sorts of interesting topics that pop up all the time at work.)

I am a big fan of Mr. Leonard's work. I like the fact that many of his books exist in the same universe, and characters from one book will unexpectedly pop up in another for a few pages and then leave. Here is a good article from Bright Lights Film Journal about some of the film adaptations of Elmore Leonard's works (even though it omits mention of 52 Pickup).
